Philippa Hanna is an established UK singer-songwriter, whose independent career span over 17 years and culminated in her signing a recording contract with Integrity Music, marking the upcoming release of her first ever worship project. Her music frequently draws upon her experiences of a turbulent youth and the Christian faith she found in 2004, crafting songs that ooze with honesty, authenticity and vocals that are as powerful as they are heartfelt. Philippa Hanna is recognized as a leading light in the Christian & Gospel scene in Europe and has a lot of experience in the mainstream music industry. Beyond being a gifted writer, worship leader and storyteller, Philippa Hanna has been invited to open tours for household names including Lionel Richie, Little Mix, Leona Lewis, Wet Wet Wet and Anastacia, highlighting the broadness of her appeal. Her new single ‘My Hope Is In The Blood’ introduces her new album, set to release in late July 2020. Her last two records took the Official Christian & Gospel Charts #1 spot, with ‘Come Back Fighting’ peaking at #10 on the Official Country Chart. Hopes are high for her 7th studio album, unveiling a new soundscape of worship pulled up from the ground of life experience.

‘Stained Glass Stories’ is a collection of songs born in response to a really difficult season in Philippa Hanna’s life. There were divisions and divorces happening in her family. There was sickness and depression. There were professional struggles and spiritual droughts. This picture evokes broken pieces, fragmented realities, and it is reflected in the album title and its content. ‘Stained Glass Stories’ is a raw, creative, honest response to the many struggles we all face in this life by pointing to the source of Light which brings beauty out of our fragments and shines through our cracked and frail existences. The highly visual aspect of this project is shown from the get-go through the album title, but also through the narrative woven through the shapes on the single covers, pointing to the full picture as the releases roll out. On top of this, we are driving this release with multiple band session videos, podcasts and lyric videos which all involve a high level of creative narrative.
This is a very significant record for Philippa – it’s her 7th album, symbolizing completeness, perfection and rest. Philippa has been on a long journey of sharing her testimony out of the church walls over the past 10 years but she senses God saying, ‘You’ve been telling your story for a long season, now it’s time to tell my story. Bring them home. Show them the cross. Show them that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.’ Philippa is in a place where she feels she can rest in God’s covering and confidently share His truth with anyone who will hear.
“I’ve tried to write songs that capture the unchanging truth of the gospel, in melodies that people want to sing.” Philippa Hanna

Jaci Velasquez/Integrity Music album “Trust” on WorshipTeam

Jaci Velasquez has released “Trust” through Integrity Music and all songs are now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “Trust” is a recording of some great new songs.

Bilingual, multi-Platinum selling recording artist and actress Jaci Velasquez will release her first, full-length studio album in over five years. The highly-anticipated recording, both the English-language version, Trust, and Spanish-language Confío, will release globally to over 160 nations March 31 from Integrity Music. A Billboard Latin Music Award winner with five Spanish albums to her credit, this marks the first time for Velasquez to simultaneously release an album in both languages.

Delivering 17 albums to date (not including compilations) that have gathered 16 No. 1 radio hits, 5 Grammy® nominations, 7 Dove Awards, 3 RIAA Gold Records and 3 RIAA Platinum records, Velasquez’s upcoming vertical, Godward songs of worship on Trust (Confío) also mark her first project from Integrity Music. It is further Velasquez’s first worship album, which was inspired by her youngest son, Soren, born in 2009.

Awakened in the middle of the night by Soren who was having “bad dreams,” Velasquez consoled him and decided to play a song she recently received from Integrity Music, “God Who Moves The Mountains,” written by David Leonard (All Sons & Daughters), Dustin Smith and Richie Fike. What followed was a moving time of worship for mom and son that chased away the fear.

“We adults are worried about paying our bills, getting our car fixed, health, but being scared in bed alone is a mountain to a seven-year-old,” shares Velasquez, who is a dedicated mom to two young boys. “Soren and I both were moved to worship, and our lives changed in that moment. It’s amazing how God uses music.”

Produced by Leonard and Chris Bevins (Salvador, Phillips Craig & Dean), Trust features “God Who Moves The Mountains,” as well as new songs penned by Velasquez and her husband Nic Gonzales (lead singer of Salvador) along with songs by Martin Smith (Delirious?), Dove Award winner Michael Farren and more. Notable tracks include “Rest,” “It’s Never As Dark As It Seems To Be” and “Trust You,” which Velasquez cowrote with Aruna Abrams, James Slater and Bobby Hamrick. This song sparked the project’s title and captures the core message of this new album.
“Trust is an underlying theme for me as a wife and a mom,” says Velasquez. “You can’t have a relationship without trust. Like my husband and I, there are no secrets and we trust each other no matter what. The same is true with my relationship with Jesus.”

The theme of trust also encompasses Velasquez’s hope for her son, Zealand (9), who has Autism. “There are so many days in my life that I feel like I am losing control,” confesses Velasquez. “The song ‘Trust You’ comes from that moment of where I have to ‘shake my hands,’ step away and remind myself that ‘I know you are worried, but God loves him more than you do Jaci. Stop worrying’.”

Taking that steadfast ‘trust’ into 2017, Velasquez is currently working on a book, a clothing line that raises support for Autism related causes, and she will be featured in two Christian films releasing in 2017. In all this, and with her concerts around the world, Jaci’s passion is to serve God with the gifts He has given her.
